Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR) and now Spatial Computing all come together as XR or “Extended-Reality”. You’re in the right place at the right time to build something amazing in XR!
In this blog post series we will start our Apple Vision Pro (AVP) journey!
Check out other blog articles in this (and other) series!
